Greetings all.

I'm a newbie here on the cover project and want to see if anyone could give me the new printing settings for the NES covers. I will be printing from paint, and had seen NESCOMPLEX's first video about setting the margins, however I know that the universal cases have slightly changed in size. Thanks hope to hear from some of you.

The cases are the exact same size, but the sleeve is attached slightly further inward, so you may have I just trim a smidge from the left and right edges. Like about .5mm from each side. Barely a thing at all

Hey man, yeah he's right, but I'll add this cause I print through paint also

edit: ms paint print settings:

UGC- legal, 0.8 margins

dvd- legal, 0.7 margins

ds- legal, 1.55 margins

I Thank you very much Wiggy!!!!!   :)

No problemo!

I found this out quite by accident as I joined and bought my first case of UGCs right around the time that they changed, and found myself puzzled as to why none of the art would fit. Then I just madey own templates :P

I use UnderCoverXP and it is fantastic at printing covers perfectly. Plus it is easy to switch between printing UGC covers to GBA covers to DVD covers to Blu-Ray Covers. Takes only a matter of a few seconds

I second this recommendation. I've been using it to print the covers on this site for double-width DVD cases, and they work perfectly.
